Warrior Trading (Ross Cameron)

How Traders (Legally) Pay ZERO in Taxes

The video outlines how elite traders eliminate income tax on their profits by leveraging legal structures such as territorial relocation, retirement accounts, and business entities. Cameron illustrates three core tactics: moving to Puerto Rico under Act 60 to escape federal and state taxes; routing trades through a Roth IRA—or using a back‑door conversion when income exceeds limits—to lock in tax‑free growth; and forming an LLC or corporation to claim trader‑tax‑status, which permits deduction of home‑office, equipment, data‑feed and education expenses. He cites his own $6 million year, which ordinarily would have incurred roughly $2.8 million in taxes, yet he paid zero after applying these methods. He also describes “mirror trading” in both taxable and Roth accounts and shows how loss harvesting can offset other income and be carried forward. For active traders, these strategies can transform after‑tax returns, but they require careful planning, professional CPA guidance, and lifestyle considerations such as residency requirements. Ignoring them leaves substantial revenue on the table, while proper implementation can accelerate wealth accumulation.
